Filter by:This is an open-label, single centre, single-arm phase II study which aims to assess the efficacy and tolerability of triplet combination of capecitabine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (Xeloxiri regimen) in treating patients with advanced unresectable pancreatic carcinoma. Clinical data from patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be collected and analyzed in this study. The patients' data will be collected and maintained in the Division of Medical Oncology of the University Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.
No validated second-line chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer is actually available,after the failure of a gemcitabine(+/- Cisplatin or Oxaliplatin)-based regimen. Irinotecan seems to be a moderately active drug in the treatment of this disease Recently was reported some interesting results using a potentially non -cross resistant regimen (FOLFIRI) which could be useful even as second-line chemotherapy. An exploratory study in this setting seem warranted.
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples and study cancer cells found in these blood samples from patients with pancreatic cancer. Prior research has discovered that tumor cells can be collected from the blood of patients with pancreatic and other cancers. The physicians have developed techniques for isolating and analyzing cancer cells using a simple blood test. They will study how these cells relate to how chemotherapy works. They hope to use this information to guide choices of treatment for patients in the future.
Net-Pac investigates if radiation prior to surgical resection improves survival in patients with pancreatic head cancer without metastases.
This is a Phase II open study, not randomized with a neoadjuvant therapy,combination of Gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2/week) with Erlotinib (100mg/day) (3 cycles of 4 weeks), followed by gemcitabine (300 mg/m2/week) combined with Erlotinib (100mg/day) and radiotherapy (45 Gy / day fr180 cGy) (5 cycles of 1 week) in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma to assess the percentage of R0 resections. They have planned a total of 21 visits.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the NanoKnife Low Energy Direct Current (LEDC) System when used to treat unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Safety will be reviewed by means of analysis of adverse events, including serious adverse events, laboratory data, physician exam findings, and vital signs.
The main goal of this phase of the study is to determine if objectively assessed Physical Activity (PA) levels in advanced-cancer patients are associated with health care provider (HCP)-assessed ECOG performance status and overall survival. The purpose is to advance the evidence-base for incorporating objective assessment of Physical Activity (PA) in the context of performance status assessment in advanced cancer patients.
Near 85% of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma are diagnosed with a locally advanced and/or metastatic unresectable tumor. In these patients chemotherapy (such as gemcitabine) is given as a palliative therapy. Aim of the present study is to evaluate the feasibility, tolerance and antitumor effect of repeated intratumoral injection of a gene therapy product (with antitumor and chemo sensitizing effects) combined with gemcitabine in patients with unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.
This is a phase II study evaluating the use of intraperitoneal gemcitabine given intraoperatively and as adjuvant therapy for patients with resectable pancreas cancer. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the overall safety of intraperitoneal gemcitabine given intraoperatively and postoperatively for adjuvant treatment of resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment regimen as reflected in overall survival at 2-years, to study the patterns of disease recurrence following this treatment, to study the pharmacology of intraperitoneal gemcitabine and to study changes in peritoneal cytology with pancreatic cancer resection.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Gemcitabine versus Gemcitabine and TH-302 are effective in the treatment of subjects with first-line metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
